Coin looks OK but very worn. Not something I would bid on.

Hmm she doesn't come up very often. The resolution of the photographs is very poor. Think I will pass.

Better than my example, that's for sure. I think if you can get it for around the price I got mine ($20), it wouldn't be a bad buy.  |

It might do for a filler, but it will probably go for more than I would want to pay.

I think 'tooled' is too harsh a term. Some minor scraping perhaps but nothing that screams altered ! I recently sent 'noob' a listing which I suppose everyone might enjoy http://www.ebay.com/itm/LANZ-Rom-Ti...p=true&rt=ncNow that's what I call tooled ! Tiberius looks like Fred Flintstone ! Dupondii of the Julio Claudian era go for 'beeeg bucks' I think this one is well worth the current price |

It has been tooled. Look around the hair in the magnified image and you clearly see the marks where this has been worked on with a Dremel or something to create definition that wasn't there.

Well she went for £26. I think I would rather save up and pay a bit more for a better example. Too expensive for a filler.
